Application filed March 18. 1813. Serial No. 755,076.

To all whoa L it may came-m Be it known that I. HANS EIiUARD THEE SEN, acitizgen f the United States of America, nesiding at Munich, in -ennany.have invented eertain new andusefni linpi-ovements in Apparatus for;Cleansing". iooiing. and Mixing Gases. of which the Eoih'm'ing is aspecification.

My inieniionrelates to apparatus of the type wherein are cleansed.cooled or mixed in the course of their passage. through a casingcontaining fixed rings of penile rated sheet metal, wire fabric orequivalent iuai'ei'ial, iJQ-tWGPIl which rot-ate similar rings. in themanner of the heaters of a lisinlegrator, the two sets of rings beingusually carried by disks. one of whieh is fixed to a shaft.

My invention consists in certain improve i'uems in apparatus of thistype, all oi whi'rh will now he described with I'CfPI'QnPG to theawonipanying drawings. in whieh- Figure 1 is an elevation, piu'tly insew lion. showing onev einbodin'ieni of the in; Yention. Figs. 2 and 3are sectil'n'ial views, partly broken away, showing two otherembodiments. and Fig. 4 is a sectional View howing a :nmdification ofpart of the eonv iruction shown in Fig. 1.

In the construction shown in Fig. l, u and 1 designate two casings 0rchambers formed atopposite sides of a chamber Z, with which theycommunicate. the ehamhei containing! a fan ll' whereby gas can be forcedor drawn through the (:l'iarnhers 0 and )2. The bent or inclined vanesof the Fan white ('lose to the vonicai walls 9 ofthe "linliill el ineach of the chambers 0 and 1 isn (lisl; in iiitwl into a seat in theWall, the said seat surrounding the opening wherein the chamberemnmunieates With.

the elniunher Z. The dish I) has a centfiil opening for passage of thegas, but proierl's to some extent liver the opening in (in: wall of the(-hamhez'. as shown at (Z. he pni't r a i-rfoi'ding'ly determines thesize .ln' opening available for the passage of thi opening beingproportion! -10 YQ'IH'Q a niiifin'm flow of gas from one vi to theother. an i'hg'ecr-nnr'enlric rings in; which pi lulu ihe Chamber andlie int-tween ll fixed to a disk on the shaftnf the tan. .u'minrlopening leading to the (-lnnnhez -h of lhe unhers o'ani p hes in itsltnanuel n which is (m-11 ml h ihe Fixed to the disk 7;

i I i l l for lhe channel a, but I prefer the more simple constructiondescribed wherein the disk 3 suppm'ting the fixed rings also ini'ms (hemin for ihe channel.
